as you probably Did you know that Nintendo is ending 3DS and Wii U eShop sales? March 28, 2023and at the end of this month August 29you will not be able to add eShop card funds (aka points) to your account.
This is happening all over the world, and as a result, Nintendo fans around the world are getting their hands on certain digital titles before the deadline. Even Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai makes the most of these digital shops.
This is a rough translation of his recent social media posts (via Google Translate). Basically reminding his fellow 3DS and Wii U users of the closure.
“In a little over two weeks, I won’t be able to accumulate points on both the 3DS and Wii U…I’m patrolling the online shop thinking it’s my last chance. There must be a lot of things because it’s a touch panel.” It won’t be ported to other models. “
Unfortunately, he didn’t say if he’d bought one, but as he points out, many games that use touch screens on these systems won’t necessarily be ported to other platforms in the future. I can’t imagine him being excited about the old Super Smash Bros. DLC being discontinued.
The 3DS and Wii U eShops aren’t the only ones nearing the end. Sakurai announced earlier this month that most of his Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshots are gone.
